Packet loss for a month now.
First of all, I never had this issue before but now its here. I am trying to play a game but my game would stop dance or rubberband a lot. I know its packet loss because im testing it. I would send 149 packets I received 130 back, therefore packet loss. I'm calling the IT help but they always say the same thing. Call the manufacturer of your modem because it might be a hardware issue. But before their claim your basic IT help always say my modem is working fine green good connection. And I know its working its just the packet loss. So, I said please send me a technician to come and look around my area why I'm having such a stuttering connection. Guess what? The basic IT help cant even submit a ticket to provide an appointment because you're assuming its my modem? Plus it seems like your IT help doesn't even know what packet loss is. I have to explain twice what it is. How hard can it be to ask for a technician when it is my right as a customer? I'm paying on time and im paying it full. I am sure im not alone with this issue. Please act Cox

This is insane! I’ve had these exact issues for at least six months now with very similar interactions with Cox. Trying to explain to CS what packet loss is before I lose connection to the chat and have to wait in line, get connected, verify my information then explain packet loss again just to be disconnect due to the packet loss.
Very eager to hear what else comes of this post. Would love to be able to use the internet that I pay $100 a month for.

It's a joke how quickly they can get you the twitter handle while at the same time ignoring the entire issue being "addressed" in this thread.
Can we get an admin update on what our next steps would be if we're STILL having this issue? allan and kevinm2

I am having this same issue. I primarily play CS:GO on a wired connection and in the last couple of months the constant lag spikes have made playing the game almost impossible. It is the most frustrating thing in the world, and for $100 a month you expect better. After reading through this thread I feel like there's no point in even reporting an issue.
